9"w x 6.5"h

$ 600.00

Jimmy Wilson (b. 1935)  lives in Leupp, Arizona. He and his wife make pottery with Navajo (Diné) images from Creation Stories drawn on their surface; sometimes colored. Wilson makes shallow, incised geometric designs of Navajo people on his vessels. This jar is coil-built with a sharp shoulder and a short neck. The top of the shoulder is fully incised with star and plant designs.  Note the various layers of design on the surface!  The jar was traditionally fired with great coloration and then covered in pinon-pitch.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Jimmy Wilson”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
